跟Hazel老師一起學習電影「Call Me By Your Name」的經典片段。
We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything—what a waste!
How you live your life is your business. Just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there's sorrow. I don't envy the pain. But I envy you the pain.
【參考譯文】為了以遠超我們所需的速度被療愈,我們從自己身上剝奪了太多東西,以致不到三十歲就枯竭了。每次重新開始一段感情,我們能付出的東西就變得更少。為了不要有感覺而不去感覺,多麼浪費啊。
如何度過你的一生是你自己的事情。可是切記,我們的心靈和身體是絕無僅有的。在你還沒能意識到這件事的時候,你的心就已經疲憊不堪了,至於你的身體,總有一天沒有人要再看它,更沒有人願意接近它。現在的我很難過。我不羨慕痛苦本身,但我羨慕你還會痛。
